TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The Florida A&M University Al Lawson Center vaccination site gave its 10,000th dose on Wednesday morning.
The recipient of the milestone vaccination was Tallahassee resident Joy McCallister, who received her second Moderna vaccine.
âI want to do my part to get back to normal,â said McCallister, a mother of two who works for the Leon County Clerkâs Office. âI also want to protect my family.â
The site was opened on Feb. 25 specifically to reach people of color and other underserved communities. Those groups have less access to free vaccines and appear to be more affected by vaccine hesitancy.
